The titanium dioxide coating on our Ludlow Major Ecologic tiles is an innovation that soaks up nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollutants, the nasty stuff that aggravates respiratory problems like asthma.
One average tiled roof using Marley Ecologic green roof tiles removes as much NOx from the air in its lifetime as a car produces in 100,000 miles. Our eco-friendly roofing is also made from over 50% recycled materials, so it won’t just make your project look good, you’ll look pretty good too. Another reason why with ME, it’s all about you.
The emission of NOx pollutants is causing serious disruption to the natural nitrogen cycle of the Earth which in turn disrupts ecosystems and presents another threat to our long term future.
In the short term NOx has been linked to a range of respiratory health problems and can exacerbate asthma and bronchial conditions,even at low levels over a period of long-term exposure. Although NOx emissions have declined due to stricter controls of exhausts from vehicles and power stations, the UK is still emitting around 1.5 million tonnes of these gases each year, which is pretty high! By using Marley Eternit Ludlow Major Ecologic green roof tiles you’ll be helping reduce Nox pollutants as well as having a stylish, eco-friendly roof.
Ecologic Ludlow Major provides specifiers with lots of scope, as its eco-friendly credentials are superb. The tile has a brown, granular textured surface to complement a range of architectural styles, from urban renewal to new build developments. However, our green roof tiles are particularly popular for social housing schemes.
As more emphasis is being placed on the sustainability of building materials for such projects, Ecologic would present a good case for specification, particularly where the optimisation of the inhabitants environmental conditions are paramount. Made from 50% recycled materials, Ecologic roof tiles incorporate environmental properties, sustainability and the cost effective performance characteristics of concrete tile technology into one product, making them an unbeatable choice for today's urban projects.
